“This was our first time using this service, and I am so glad I found Taylor! We were very hesitant with the idea of leaving our dog with a stranger, but Taylor's reviews and her prompt answers to my numerous questions, we were quickly put us at ease. We received daily updates and pictures, and it was obvious to us that Moose was having the best time and was well cared for. Before we picked him up, I had already reached out to Taylor to rebook with her for an upcoming trip!”
“Briah was a fantastic host for our pup! She was super easy to coordinate with, and sent us pictures throughout the stay. She clearly loves dogs which made it easy to leave our pup in her care.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and support. I'm comfortable reinforcing training, maintaining established routines, and caring for dogs with special needs, including administering insulin injections, eye drops, oral medications, and following detailed treatment schedules. I work evening shifts, so my schedule allows me to spend much of the day with the dogs in my care before heading to work. Before I leave, they'll have plenty of exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and attention, and as soon as I'm home, it's back to cuddles, walks, and quality time. My evening shifts are typically 6 to 8 hours, so dogs are never left alone for extended periods. I live in a large, spacious apartment in a very dog-friendly community right next to a large park, so there will be no shortage of walks, fresh air, and new things to explore. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Pet care is something I intentionally build into my daily routine. I work evening shifts, so I have most of the day to focus on walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving your dog plenty of love and attention before I head to work. My shifts are typically 6 to 8 hours, and as soon as I'm home, it's back to quality time together. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so regular walks are already part of my day. Living next to a large park makes it easy to provide exercise, enrichment, and fresh air. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing by my side, I'll tailor their care to their personality and routine so they feel happy, comfortable, and at home. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's habits, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide consistent care that feels familiar and stress-free. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and settle in. I provide a clean, safe, and secure environment where dogs receive lots of attention, structure, and affection. I live in a pet-friendly community right next to a large park, and all walks are conducted on leash. I closely supervise pets during playtime, walks, feeding, and any interactions to ensure they're safe and comfortable. When I'm working, my evening shifts are typically 6 to 8 hours, so before I leave your dog will have plenty of exercise, enrichment, and a chance to settle in for some downtime. As soon as I'm home, they're my priority again with walks, playtime, and cuddles. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.
“Susan was great! She was very easy to communicate with, kept me updated on my dog with photos every day, and made a pleasant, comfortable home experience for my dog while we were on holiday!”
“Jillian was absolutely amazing with our baby, Scooby! She took wonderful care of him and provided updates and pictures! Scooby definitely enjoyed his "vacation" with Jillian and I will DEFINITELY book services with her again! This was the first time he has been away from us overnight and we were a little worried, but the updates she provided, we felt very reassured that he was in the best hands! Thank you Jillian!”
“Stephanie was super kind and loving to our dog. She was a great communicator, sending updates and pictures during his stay. Will definitely use her again and recommend her to all.”
“Best family out there to watch your puppers. Harley had a great time and always made me feel safe knowing she was in good hands. Communication and photos were 10/10. Definitely looking forward to letting them watch Harley again! Highly recommended sitters!”
“Deanna was quick to respond and prompt upon pick up and drop off of our little lady. We received pictures and updates every day while we were gone on vacation! Our pup came home happy and exhausted from playing all weekend with Deanna's family and dogs. We will be calling on Deanna again to have our girl over to her house while we're out of town!”
“Christine did a great job and cared for our pup so well! She was responsive when we reached out for updates and her and her boys were very kind to Bentley!”
“Katelynn was awesome! She was incredibly attentive to details in my dogs’ profiles and I was pleasantly surprised when she just started rattling off information about the meds they take and their different needs I had written out. My dogs were clearly happy and well cared for when I picked them up and we have already rebooked with her for next week!”
“This was our fist time boarding our dogs. They did great and loved Joseph. He made them feel comfortable right away. They came back happy and tired. Would definitely recommend Joseph.”
“This was our first time using Rover and I’m so happy we found Griffin! He watched our chihuahua for a week and I think she had a better time on vacation than we did! The kids (and adults) absolutely loved getting the picture/video updates and we so appreciated how they let Tallulah make herself feel right at home. We will definitely be asking for Griffin again next time we travel.”
“Chris was able to take Oliver at short notice for a trip I went on. We had a prior meet and greet so I felt comfortable with what to expect. Chris updated me on Oliver and sent pictures. Oliver looked like he had a great time with Chris and Dolly (his pup). He went straight to sleep when I brought him home!”
“Stephanie was quick responder and saved us from a very stressful last minute cancellation from another sitter. She sent lots of pics and updates from the weekend, putting as at ease. Would highly recommend her! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Samantha was a wonderful sitter for my two girl cats. They’re very particular princesses, but they warmed up to her quickly. Samantha set up advance time with me ahead of my trip to meet the cats and walk through their needs, and also was flexible with pilling one of my cats daily. Her updates were a highlight of my trip and will absolutely book her for any future trips!”
“Taylor was amazing and took such good care of our 2 cats while the family took off. Communication was great and she was a life saver by extending their care for an extra day. I will definetly rebook!”
“Jasmine took excellent care of our cat and our more unusual pets, the chickens. It was obvious from the photos and kitty's mood when we returned that all our animal friends were in great hands. I would highly recommend booking with Jasmine!”
“Thank you Keesha for doing all you could to keep my kitty stress free while we were gone. And for all the updates which kept me stress free ?.”

“Theresa stopped by to check on my two cats and she was awesome! I felt confident that the cats were well taken care of, she sent lots of pictures and was very responsive.”
“I did not worry about my cat once while I was away. Rachel & Peter did a thorough meet and greet and sent pictures and updates of every visit. Even though she didn't come out from under the bed much, they spent time with her. My flight was delayed and when I walked in at 3:30 am, there was food and water. I highly recommend Rachel & Peter.”
“Nicole was amazing and so communicative! I trusted her with my kitty for 4 days and I would rebook her again in a heartbeat. She took lots of pics and kept me updated on how my cat was doing. I recommend her!!”
“Amanda was amazing with Anakin! She followed all instructions perfectly, gave him his medication on time, and gave him company. I loved receiving daily updates and adorable pictures—she really went above and beyond. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Anakin! Highly recommend :)!”
“Taylor did a fantastic job with my kitties! They both came out for her. She spent lots of quality time with them. My home looked and smelled clean when we got home from vacation, which never happens. She refilled my auto feeder when it got low and kept on top of the wet food and water refills. She even ran the vacuum and swept up litter kicked out of the box by my crazy young one. 10/10 recommend!”
“Jackson took great care of my two cats while I was away. He sent me daily updates on how the cats were doing and made sure to take time to play with them. I'm happy to have found someone like Jackson whom I can trust to take care of my cats again in the future! I highly recommend booking Jackson for your pet needs.”
About: I was raised taking care of cats and dogs from the time I could walk. I recently moved to the area and I would love to spend some time with your animal. I currently work an 8-4 maybe a little longer on some days, so I would be able to stop in after I get home at four or anytime on the weekend! I will be able to come over for drop in visits and give your pets a potty break and some attention or anything that’s you need to make yourself and your animals more comfortable!
“Malavika is top notch! She is kind, accommodating, and cares about her clients - both human and feline! She went out of her way, at the last minute, to house our 2 kitties while we were traveling cross country and we appreciate her so much. I recommend her to anyone and give her an A+ rating! Thank you Malavika!”
About: I have been caring for neighborhood cats since I was a kid - my dad was a dog person, so I took every opportunity I could to be around kitties. I’ve had my own cats since 2021, Josie (10) and Jade (7) whom I love very much. I also have cared for senior cats before, and am open to similar opportunities.
“Rafaela was amazing with my two cats. They are anxious (like me) and they were comfortable with her immediately (rolled on their backs for belly rubs) which made me comfortable. She sent great photos and updates, communicated thoroughly, and I felt confident that the cats were well taken care of. When we met to exchange keys, she asked thorough questions and made sure she was prepared with all instructions. Rafaela is really kind, has a gentle energy with pets, and definitely understands how much humans cherish their animal companions. If I need a petsitter in the future, I'm definitely contacting her again. Highly recommend!”
“Kellie did a great job caring for our furbabies while we were out of the state. She was attentive, responsive, and reliable! We will be booking with Kellie again the next time we travel!”

“Here's a review you can use: Brent did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Winnie, while I was on vacation. Knowing that Winnie was in good hands allowed me to fully enjoy my time away. Brent provided regular updates throughout the week, which gave me great peace of mind. It was like a home away from home for Winnie. I will definitely be using Brent again in the future!”

“Prior to meeting Ron, I was very nervous about leaving Mina at a sitters or dog daycare. But after meeting Ron, all of those reservations and nervousness completely disappeared. He provides an excellent dog care service. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needed a highly qualified, capable and caring dog sitter. If Mina could speak I'm sure she would say the same! ”
About: As a devoted pet sitter, my passion for animals shines through in every aspect of my care. What sets me apart is not just my extensive experience, but also my genuine love for our furry companions. Having recently raised and trained a puppy of my own, I understand firsthand the joys and challenges of puppyhood. I bring this expertise to my pet sitting services, offering tailored sessions to help your young pup learn and grow into a well-behaved companion. Dogs have been a consistent part of my life, bringing endless happiness and companionship. From the energetic playtimes to the quiet moments of cuddling, I cherish every interaction with these loyal friends. It's not just a job for me; it's a privilege to be entrusted with the care of your beloved pets. My approach to pet sitting is rooted in empathy, patience, and understanding. I take the time to build trust and rapport with each animal, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy in my presence. Whether it's a rambunctious puppy or a wise old senior, I delight in being their friend and providing the companionship and care they deserve. With a genuine love for animals and a wealth of experience, I am dedicated to going above and beyond to ensure the well-being and happiness of your furry family members. Having flexibility in my schedule as a full-time student at the University of Missouri - Kansas City allows me to prioritize the well-being of your pets without any scheduling conflicts. With my academic responsibilities well managed, I can dedicate ample time and attention to caring for your furry companions. Whether it's early morning walks, midday play sessions, or late-night cuddles, I can accommodate your pet's needs at any time of the day. My flexibility extends to weekends and holidays, ensuring that your pets receive consistent care and companionship whenever you need it. Responsibility is at the core of my pet care philosophy. I understand the importance of reliability and consistency when it comes to caring for animals. You can trust that I will prioritize the needs of your pets, ensuring they are fed, exercised, and loved just as you would do yourself. By entrusting your pets to me, you can have peace of mind knowing that they are in capable and caring hands. I am committed to providing the highest standard of care while you focus on your studies or other obligations. Your pets will receive the attention and affection they deserve, allowing them to thrive in your absence. Ensuring safety, building trust, and providing a comfortable environment are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether it's in my own home or in the client's home. Here's how I approach pet care in each setting: In My Home: Pet-Proof Environment: My home is carefully pet-proofed to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of all animals. This includes securing hazardous items, installing pet gates, and providing designated areas for play and relaxation. Supervision: I provide constant supervision when pets are in my home, minimizing any potential risks and addressing their needs promptly. Whether it's mealtime, playtime, or nap time, I'm always present to ensure their well-being. Comfort: I prioritize the comfort of visiting pets by providing cozy bedding, toys for enrichment, and a calm environment for relaxation. I tailor the experience to meet the individual needs and preferences of each pet, ensuring they feel at home during their stay. In Client's Home: Trust Building: Establishing trust with pets is essential in a new environment. I take the time to bond with each animal, respecting their boundaries and earning their trust through gentle interactions, positive reinforcement, and consistent care. Routine Maintenance: I adhere to the pet's established routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and medication administration. Consistency is key to minimizing stress and promoting a sense of security for pets in their own home. Communication: Regular communication with pet owners is vital to ensure peace of mind. I provide updates, photos, and detailed reports on the pet's well-being and activities, keeping owners informed and involved in their pet's care even while they're away. Whether in my own home or a client's home, my approach to pet care is centered on creating a safe, trusting, and nurturing environment where pets can thrive and feel loved.
About: I have had dogs almost all my life. From as early as I can remember I have enjoyed the character of dogs and how they interact with the world around them. Curious, loving, direct, playful, and led by natural instincts. I am a certified professional dog groomer that also offers these additional services to include well rounded pet care. I currently do work at home and can be pretty flexible with scheduling. I can take new appointments within a day or two. I prefer three days notice to cancel but handle all situations case by case. When caring for a beloved four-legged fur baby I treat them with the love I show my own pet companion with kindness, love, compassion, and comfort. I typically allow pets on my furniture and interact with them throughout the day. I enjoy walking with and having playtime in the yard or at a nearby dog park. If there is a more structured environment that you prefer with your dog that can almost always be accommodated.
About: Caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just relaxing and giving lots of cuddles, I make sure your dog feels right at home. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to making your pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am not currently working so my availability is open to care for your pets either in my home or yours. I am home all day most days unless it is to run out to grab my children from school. I have experience with crate training if that is preferred. I also have a large backyard for your pup to run around. I have experience with all age ranges (from puppies to elderly dogs)
“Allison was fantastic! Ozzie adored her and her dog, and by the third day when I told him he was going to see her he got excited. She kept me updated with lots of photos and was also very understanding of my shifting drop-off and pick-up hours due to the nature of the daytime event I was working. I will definitely be sending Ozzie to stay with her again in the future, and would recommend her to anyone.”

About: I grew up with a lab/pitbull mix, and have lived with other big dogs. I get along with all puppies, and am down to lounge with them, walk them, or play! I am a remote worker, so I plan to walk dogs on my lunch break (approximately 12 PM - 1 PM). I can also check in on dogs and feed them as needed. I always make sure they have food and water, and feel safe in their environment. I’m not one to push a dog out of their comfort zone, but I will always approach your puppy with kindness and consideration.

However, I can spend as much time with your fur babies in your home! I have my phone on me at all times for open communication and plenty of photos of your pup or kitty!
About: Hi!! My name is Alyssa, and I’m a dedicated and compassionate pet sitter in the Kansas City area! I have experience working with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and any specific needs your pet may have. I also have hands-on experience caring for my diabetic cat, including administering insulin injections and monitoring routines. Because of this, I’m comfortable supporting pets with medical needs and understand the importance of consistency, timing, and gentle handling. Outside of pet sitting, I work in the counseling field supporting children and families, which has strengthened my patience, responsibility, and ability to stay calm in all situations, these skills I bring into caring for your pets as well. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and secure while you’re away and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I am getting my master’s, so I have some evening classes, but I am still able to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting during weekdays and weekends. Because of my schedule, I’m able to prioritize your pet’s routine, including feeding times, walks, play, and any medical needs like medications or insulin injections. I do my best to be reliable, on-time, and responsive to messages. I prioritize safety, structure, and a calm environment for every pet I care for. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any specific instructions you provide. I have experience administering medications, including insulin injections, and understand the importance of consistency and careful monitoring. In your home, I am respectful of your space and ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to behavior and body language, especially for anxious or shy pets, and adjust my approach to meet their needs. My goal is to create a safe, low-stress environment where your pet feels cared for and you feel confident they’re in good hands.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats, have fostered in the past, and continue to care for my friend’s pets while they are away. I am open to house-sit, drop in, or go on however long of a walk your best friend needs. I have a lot of experience taking care of pets in their own homes, making sure they are safe and comfortable. I have experience with different breeds and temperaments - cuddlers, partiers, grouches, and loungers all deserve love! I can’t wait to spend time with your best friend and give you peace of mind. I work full time, but work from home Mondays and Fridays. Currently I could do drop-ins and walks anytime Fridays through Mondays. For Tuesday through Thursday, I would only be available early morning and evening. I’m available any day for house sitting stays which includes overnight care in your home with evening and morning routines. We can discuss if midday drop-in or walk are needed on the days i’m in the office. Drop-ins include feeding, water refresh, play/potty time, and quick updates. Walks include a 30-minute walk at your dog’s usual pace, leash handling, water refill if needed, and notes to the owner. If your dog needs longer than 30 minutes, Incan also do a longer walk for an hour. I make a point to ensure pets are following their schedules and any training they are working on. I always make sure to double check any needs/wants with the owner, to make sure pets are at their most comfortable. Let me know how your pet thrives in their environment, the more details the better! I will keep you updated on anything you specifically ask, or of any questions I might have that will help me get to know your pet better.
About: Hi! I’m Katie, a medical student who recently moved to Kansas City. Between classes and studying, spending time with animals is one of my favorite ways to unwind and recharge. I’ve been a lifelong pet lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’ve had cats in my home since I was born, so I’m comfortable with everything from cuddles and playtime to litter box maintenance and administering basic care. For the past few years, I’ve also cared for a friend’s dog while he’s away for work as a pilot. Through that experience, I’ve gained consistent experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, attentive, and compassionate. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a cozy companion, or simply someone to keep their routine consistent, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! Pet care is already part of my daily life with my own cats, and I regularly care for a friend’s dog. Feeding, walks, and playtime fit easily into my routine. I am a medical student who spends most of my time studying at home or at your home watching your pets! In my home or a client’s, I keep pets on their normal routine with consistent feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of love. I make sure dogs get the walks and exercise they need, and cats get attention and comfort while staying in their safe space. My goal is to make them feel at home and cared for.
About: Hey! I’m Brendan. I’m new to Rover, but I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I currently live in downtown Kansas City with my two best friends, Malakai, an 8 year old Siberian Husky, and O’Malley, a 3 year old Frenchie, so I’m very comfortable with both high energy dogs and smaller companion breeds. I work from home full time, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, and I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home full time, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. My dogs already keep me active with walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day, so adding another furry friend to the mix feels pretty seamless. I’m home most of the day and have a flexible schedule during both weekdays and weekends. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first with me. I live in a pet friendly apartment downtown with plenty of walking areas nearby, and my two dogs are both very social and friendly with other dogs. I’m also comfortable crating your dog if preferred or following any routines, feeding schedules, or care instructions you already have in place to help them feel at home.
About: We’re both active, dependable flight attendants who love spending our free time with animals. Because our job takes us to different cities, we often have extended layovers where we have the flexibility and availability to provide dedicated care for cats and dogs. Whether we’re at home or traveling, caring for pets is something we genuinely enjoy. As proud dog owners ourselves, we’ve put extensive time into training, exercise, and daily care. We’re experienced with all types of collars and harnesses. (We went through many during our boys puppy stage). We’re also comfortable administering medications, following detailed feeding schedules, and adapting to your pet’s unique routine. Whether your pet needs an energetic adventure, a relaxing walk, or just cuddles while you’re away, we’ll care for them as if they were our own. We’re flight attendants who work opposite schedules for our own pup, so one of us is always home to care for your furry friend. Our schedules are all over the place, so we’re able to accommodate any occupation. So whether you’re on call, an early bird, or a grave shift worker, WE GET IT! We have a huge fenced yard where your pup can run for miles. We have an energetic dog ourselves who requires a lot of play. We live close to the dog park and can also take your pup for walks. Our dog is more of a human than a pet, he is allowed on furniture and sleeps on the bed with us. We require a meet and greet before accepting any client to make sure they get along with our pup.
About: I would love to spend time with your pup(s) and give you peace of mind while you are traveling, busy for the day or working. I know how important pets are to families and individuals so I will treat them like my own! I also have a Golden retriever who is great with any and all size dogs. She has truly never met a person or dog that she doesn’t like! I have a flexible schedule as I work remote so I can be available based your dogs schedule. Also I frequent dog parks to get my Golden’s energy out and would be happy to take your dog(s) as well. Please let me know if you have any additional questions! I love to go on walks in the morning/early evening and spend time cuddling on the couch. What ever your dog needs, I’m available to serve! I am searching for jobs so I am on my computer at home for 2-3 hours a day, perfect for nap time. I have a very pet friendly home so the more the merrier! There is a park across the street and designated dog stations for them to potty.

“This was our first time using this service, and I am so glad I found Taylor! We were very hesitant with the idea of leaving our dog with a stranger, but Taylor's reviews and her prompt answers to my numerous questions, we were quickly put us at ease. We received daily updates and pictures, and it was obvious to us that Moose was having the best time and was well cared for. Before we picked him up, I had already reached out to Taylor to rebook with her for an upcoming trip!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and support. I'm comfortable reinforcing training, maintaining established routines, and caring for dogs with special needs, including administering insulin injections, eye drops, oral medications, and following detailed treatment schedules. I work evening shifts, so my schedule allows me to spend much of the day with the dogs in my care before heading to work. Before I leave, they'll have plenty of exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and attention, and as soon as I'm home, it's back to cuddles, walks, and quality time. My evening shifts are typically 6 to 8 hours, so dogs are never left alone for extended periods. I live in a large, spacious apartment in a very dog-friendly community right next to a large park, so there will be no shortage of walks, fresh air, and new things to explore. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Pet care is something I intentionally build into my daily routine. I work evening shifts, so I have most of the day to focus on walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving your dog plenty of love and attention before I head to work. My shifts are typically 6 to 8 hours, and as soon as I'm home, it's back to quality time together. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so regular walks are already part of my day. Living next to a large park makes it easy to provide exercise, enrichment, and fresh air. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing by my side, I'll tailor their care to their personality and routine so they feel happy, comfortable, and at home. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's habits, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide consistent care that feels familiar and stress-free. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and settle in. I provide a clean, safe, and secure environment where dogs receive lots of attention, structure, and affection. I live in a pet-friendly community right next to a large park, and all walks are conducted on leash. I closely supervise pets during playtime, walks, feeding, and any interactions to ensure they're safe and comfortable. When I'm working, my evening shifts are typically 6 to 8 hours, so before I leave your dog will have plenty of exercise, enrichment, and a chance to settle in for some downtime. As soon as I'm home, they're my priority again with walks, playtime, and cuddles. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.

“Jillian was absolutely amazing with our baby, Scooby! She took wonderful care of him and provided updates and pictures! Scooby definitely enjoyed his "vacation" with Jillian and I will DEFINITELY book services with her again! This was the first time he has been away from us overnight and we were a little worried, but the updates she provided, we felt very reassured that he was in the best hands! Thank you Jillian!”

“Deanna was quick to respond and prompt upon pick up and drop off of our little lady. We received pictures and updates every day while we were gone on vacation! Our pup came home happy and exhausted from playing all weekend with Deanna's family and dogs. We will be calling on Deanna again to have our girl over to her house while we're out of town!”

“Chris was able to take Oliver at short notice for a trip I went on. We had a prior meet and greet so I felt comfortable with what to expect. Chris updated me on Oliver and sent pictures. Oliver looked like he had a great time with Chris and Dolly (his pup). He went straight to sleep when I brought him home!”
“Ashley is the best! She was so sweet and patient with our pup. Really made her apart of the family and showed her the best time while we were traveling for the holidays.”
“This is my second booking with Laurie and am extremely happy with how she takes care of my dog, Addie. Addie is initially anxious yet Laurie redirects Addie, engaging her in play, taking good care of her; sending pictures and updates throughout the day. I can truly relax when Addie is with Laurie, which is a blessing 😋.”
“Rachel was amazing! She worked with our dogs quirks, sent constant updates and took them on fun little adventures! Highly recommend for your pups staycation!”
